Overall story discussion

Kell, I apologize for my comment. I guess after rereading mine & then reading yours, I understand & actually meant to say it like you said. I too don't think my parents would object to the whole gay thing. Actually, my entire fam kinda knows already neways (the whole boyfriend thing). Even though sex is an open subject & harrassed among my family (siblings, parents & I), the whole magazine thing is exactly what you said. My mother, although I love her to death, does still treat all her kids, including myself, like we are 6 yo kids. Actually sometimes I think that the 6 yo's might be treated better cuz they aren't hers & they're allow to make mistakes like that, haha. I guess my main reason for saying that about my parents is the mags are like having a can of beer or bottle of liquior in my room. Regardless of whether you're of age or not, it's generally something that shouldn't be sitting out. And in our house, unless you're willing to share it with others, don't leave it laying around. And unfortunately, my mags wouldn't really be a fav to my brother. My sisters on the other hand, who knows. But then I only have 2. Sorry for this being so pointless. I really do like the stories & DO NOT think they are porn.

My head feels like it's doing this after the lengthy typing I just did, hahaha.

dude, that was really good, and i agree with trev that the continuity of the story was pretty good, not exactly from where you stopped but an interesting start for a chapter. i liked the way that you are making taylor gay (i hope so). i think this is the first time that you are writing about religion being in the way of bring gay, something that i didnt expect at all

Touchy subject, religion. I have to say, I have a tendency to be a bit of a militant atheist (see my posts in the rant thread) but unthinking acceptance of unfounded dogma, which is a central element of most organised religion, is in my mind the single greatest threat to human life in all existence, so it makes me touchy. I'll try my best not to offend, and you guys are not my target, since you are all intelligent, questioning beings; but apologies in advance.

...oh, yeah, right, the STORY! Lol anyway, I love the story, totally new direction for you and it's great! However, re the naming thing, usually I agree with the majority, a pair of names intrigues me, but also I read other stories just as much that aren't made that way, so it isn't everything. Plus with this story, naming it like this kinda says that these two will end up together, which kills a bit of the suspense, which I think is a shame.

Oh, I agree with you Alex. But I must say that the idea of religion in the story was definitely a good one. I mean, it's something that happens in everyday life, so why wouldn't it happen in our stories too. Plus, it just opens up the idea of conversation for us to talk & add somethings to the stories. Cuz utilmately, maybe someone out there hasn't experienced a relationship yet, and could learn something to when & if that happens to him/her, they'll know how to take it from there.

But yes again to Alex's post, I too apologize in advance for anything I might say on here that may sound like I'm picking on one individual. I'm definitely not, and get freakin' paranoid when I think that I may have po'd someone.
